Are there low or high beams in my truck?

I turn the switch to turn them on manually… no headlights. The weird thing is everything else is on and working properly. Dash lights, parking lights, taillights… everything. I hit the dimmer switch and the highs come on. Hit it again, and no low beams. Next day I get into the truck and everything works fine. Low and high beams work. (night time)
